Highly scarce vintage fountain pen signature on a 4x5-inch pale yellow album page, acquired in-person in the 1950s.  In good condition, with trimming to the upper edge that comes very close to the tip of the last letter of her first name.  Note that the image accompanying the scan of the autograph here is not actually included with the item.  Boy, was Arlen a knockout!  Dubbed "The Wiggle" because of her arousing strut, the pouty, blonde former Miss Detroit and WAMPAS Baby Star of 1956 was memorable in second lead roles in a long string of B-movies and T.V. episodes of the 1950s and 1960s.  Typically cast as "airhead" types with easy ways and names like Flo, Dixie and Bootsie, she was memorable in Son of Sinbad (1955), Miracle in the Rain (1956), The Best Things in Life Are Free (1956), The Helen Morgan Story (1957), and Gypsy (1962) before her untimely death of undisclosed causes at the age of 58.
